The issue described by the initial bug report should be fixed with the 
functions.py patch
in that report. Looking at the initscripts and kernel %pre scripts show that
modprobe and adduser are used, both of which require root priviliges.

I've never encountered this initscripts and kernel %pre scripts failure 
problem myself
and only became aware of the mkinitrd trouble after running Kadischi on 
an SMP machine.
functions.py patch fixes that, and the other reports do not seem to 
reflect any information
other than "it fails". Perhaps you can do some testing on your own and 
see if you can gather some information.
